No one is more susceptible to being misunderstood than the preschooler. Precocious, brazen, obsessive, endearing, hysterical, impulsive, anxious, delightful, unreflective, dogmatic, generous, unstable, aggressive, resistant, compulsive, and anything but consistent. Dr. Neufeld leads us into the interior landscape of the preschooler in this six-hour DVD sessions. He will provide insight into their shyness, separation anxieties, aggression, resistance, oppositionality and more. Making sense of these confusing yet wondrous creatures lays the foundation for intuitive and fruitful interaction with them.
We invite working parents and their children to come join us for dinner and play time. Come play, connect, and enjoy some family time and share in a meal together! Family Place will provide a healthy meal for all to enjoy!
